@loki Ahh ok makes sense. Odd to use a content warning for a selfie though, but seems people are pretty excessive with CW on mastodon in general.

@freemo
Some people don't like eye contact, others don't necessarily wanna see selfies.

It doesn't hurt me to spent 3 seconds to stick a content warning on

@loki I wasnt trying to give you a hard time for your choice. Just struck me as unusual is all.

@freemo that's fair

It's rare I see a selfie that isn't CW'd

@loki I'm fairly new here but it seems almost everything is CWed. I'm starting to see it as less of a content warning and more of a way of summarizing a post and being able to expand it.

@freemo well yes, it's used for both of these things.

Some people don't like to see certain content, and that's valid.
Personally I use it to summarise long posts because no one likes seeing long posts on their TL

@loki fair. I see content warnings usually as a bit silly since you never know what will or will not trigger someone. With that said I'd never hold it against someone for using one.

With that said just using it as a means to summarize content and expand more details makes perfect sense to me and can be useful.
